Vis Viva – Living Force

Vis Viva is the underlying (or should I say overlying?) title of my trilogy. It is Latin for Living Force and is one of the earliest formulations of the conservation of energy theory. The term, according to Wikipedia, is now applied in the context of celestial mechanics (for more information click here). Why such a title, you might ask? Well, it’s because I believe that everything is energy and that: “Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it merely changes form.” (The first law of thermodynamics is based on that concept. Once again, you can check it out on Wikipedia here). Because of this, I also believe that everything we do has consequences. And I don’t just mean actions but thoughts as well. That is why I firmly believe that you can achieve anything you wish for if you truly believe in it (I suppose another name for this is faith, in yourself at least if nothing else). It’s the whole Ask and Ye Shall Receive (Bible, Matthew 21:22) concept. Therefore, to all you boys/girls/etc. who read this, I say: "Don’t get discouraged; if you truly want something, go for it, and it will happen!" Alessa
